Boulder JCC Program Co-sponsored by Congregation Bonai Shalom, Congregation Har Hashem, Congregation Nevei Kodesh, CU Hillel, Moishe House Boulder, Boulder JTree, and Repair the World.

Join us for a virtual Tu B’shevat Seder where we will explore the intersection of Jewish thought, trees, and the climate crisis. Tu B’shevat, literally the 15th of  the Hebrew month of Shevat, is the birthday of the trees in Jewish tradition, often celebrated with an ordered meal, or seder, and intentional conversation. The past two decades we have seen unprecedented wildfires in Colorado, largely a result of the climate crisis. We will explore the contemporary issues of Wildfires and Reforestation with Camille Stevens-Rumann, Assistant Professor in Forest and Rangeland Stewardship at CSU, and Rod Moraga, local firefighter, as we root ourselves in Jewish thought and the wisdom of tradition. The seder will be virtual, with the opportunity to learn, sing, dialogue, and act. 

The virtual event is free with an option to purchase an $18 kit of the traditional seder foods to eat at home. Kits will be available prior to the program at the Boulder JCC.
